The. Most. Comfortable. Shoe. Ever.
These are the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. Not in terms of spongy, walking on a bouncy castle cushioning - there's none of that - this is a true barefoot shoe, but in terms of how it fits your foot, it's like wearing some thick socks or a comfy pair of slippers. I got the black ones, and they're not the prettiest shoes in town, but I have run in them and worn them for lots of walking, and they seem like they'll last. The grip is great, they're super light and flexible. Tempted to buy in a few other colours too.

Easy Shoe for all
Very comfortable with a slight sole hugging characteristic, thin with plenty of feel and despite comments on durability - the construction is absolutely solid and the sole longevity is also down to the activities undertaken whilst wearing. If you mainly wear on soft trails or fine stony pathways (like the tread pattern is designed for), they will last much longer than tarmac walking I would say. Well rounded barefoot shoes, not quite as wide as other options but excellent nonetheless. Olive colour also looks great.

Very comfy
As a barefoot disciple these are one of the best I've had. A really grippy sole on most surfaces. Good stretch and some protection. Only thing which is a bit of a downside is that they are like a one way sieve with sand filling quickly and then nothing comes out.

Great, but pricy vs durability
Really like these, fit is great, size was right, and for my size and weight got a lot more use than I expected (6months)... but id say price vs durability is a little mutch.

Great shoes for trail runs
Merrell vapor gloves have always been great shoes. I absolutely love them and have stuck with them through the iterations - this is probably my 8th pair now! They're comfortable and great for the odd trail run. The only thing I've noticed is they tend to split in the same place, around the ball of my foot. The seam tends to tear away from the upper part of the shoe. This happens consistently after 150-200 miles' worth of trails. I do have wide feet so appreciate the large toe box

Very comfortable, let down by sole durability.
These minimalist running shoes are exceptionally comfortable, lightweight, flexible, and feel great for minimalist running. However, the soles are a significant letdown. They wear out very quickly, which makes them less practical for long-term use. I've purchased two pairs so far, both on sale, as I wouldn't consider them worth the full price due to the poor sole durability. I've even attempted to patch the worn-out areas with an bicycle inner tube repair kit to extend their lifespan. If the manufacturers improved the sole durability, these would easily become my go-to minimalist running shoes. Until then, I can only recommend them at a discounted price for those willing to compromise on longevity for exceptional comfort.

wonderful and lovely looking instead of that over cheap colour plastic look
most comfortable and good looking and finally a sneaker with material not plastic or glossy colours everywhere...they had a nr 4 which they stopped making sadly made of clothmaterial mainly this is almost as good though the laces are more normal theother ones went further down the sides...still wonderful. as finding the vapour 3d 4 almost impossible.

Good but beware. Limited application for the cost
Okay, these are good shoes. But for me they are too much barefoot. I bought a cheaper pair/type for 1/3 of the price and they are better for a walking on roads. These are not good on trails either. Soft grass you’d be fine. But for street or trails your better off with something else.
